I bought a game:

But i can’t download it via the itch client. In the download pop-up there is no option to download the premium version even though i paid 4$ + VAT.

The same happens on the page with payment confirmation in the first picture.

I’m unsatisfied with this situation.

I’m running this version of the itch client

Stable 80705 (1f2c0bc)
Host 0.0.14
Linux 64-Bit (5.3.11-100.Fc29.X86_64)

What can i do to download the game i paid for via the itch client?

That's a windows game, not sure I'd buy that if I were running Linux until I tested it in wine first.

Just download the windows version on the browser version and set up wine as per the usual procedure.

I can download and play the free version using the itch app (which calls wine in the backend). However the premium version is not available for download in the itch app, even though i paid for it. There are multiple reasons why don’t want to download the program outside the itch app, such as no auto updates, no sandboxing, no play time tracking … .

Sorry I was not aware of the wine integration in the app.

That's very interesting.
